Laura Mulveys theory towards both women and men is definetly relevant to my own independent stud on Kidulthood, as I am focusing on the representation of female within the 21st century. Luara Mulvey refers to the male gaze, in which women are viewed as mere sex objects, this is definelty applied to my text 'Kidulthood', as female girls are witnessed preforming sexual acts upon men. The girl is placed in a devalued position, and in one scene is on her knees before the man, whilst she preforms oral sex. The positioning of this female onscreen highlights the authoritive/powerful representation of men, and enforces patriachial views/society. Furthermore refernce towards women as both whores/madonnas is aso necessarry within my own text. As well as this Mulvey focuses on Sigmeund Freuds own theories towards women. This can also be applied to the 'kidulthood' text as it offers explanation towards the delinquency witnessed within 'Kidulthood', as some of the main charcters we follow onscreen(Trevor), are from single parent families. This inturn emphasises contemporary scoiety, as an era of misguidance, lonilness, and conflict. Sigmeun Freuds theory represents that the children have lacked from an early stage his theoratical development in which it is necesary for the child to larn their own position within the family.
